Oo Arr

Everybody loves pirates. These ones were for an issue of Horrible Histories.

Apparently one of my ancestors had a duel, a real old-fashioned pistols-at-dawn affair, with a character called "Digby the Pirate", according to family legend. Nobody ever heard from Digby again, but his duelling pistols are now owned by some cousins of mine, I believe. And we call that "murder" nowadays. Crazy!

  1. Isn't "oo arr" farmers, and "yarr" pirates?

  2. I dunno. I always thought all pirates came from Cornwall.

  3. You never see farmers and pirates in the same place at once... Suspicious...

The spam filter is back on because it just goes berserk if I switch it off. Sorry - I'll get to your comments ASAP!
